The deepest borings have been O.

asked grave.faced man of group

The group nodded ascent.
"Well, there's quite O story con-

"Some years ago there lived on the
bluff in Buffalo, overlooking the river
very wealthy banker, whose only
daughter was beloved by young sur
veyor. The old man was inclined to
question the professional skill of young
rod and level. and put to him the
test, directed him to set out, on the
Dominion shore, row of trees NO
two of which should be farther apart
than any other two. The trial proved
the ineficiency and forthwith he was
forbidden the house, and in despair
drowned himself i'm the river. Per-
haps some of you gentlemen with keen
eyes can tell which two trees are
furthest apart"
The group took critical view OF
the situation and each member select.

after much discussion, an appeal was
taken to the solemn faced stranger to
solve the problem.

ANOTHER WARNING TO PARENTS WHO
PERMIT CHILDREN TO HANDLE DEAD
LY WEAPONS.
CHICAGO, August lS.-Charley
McEvoy, a ten-year-old, was acct
dentally shot and killed yesterday at
Haywood, while in company with
another boy by the name of Charley
Vaillancourt. Several neighbors
heard the shot fred and saw the
BOYS run to mark at which they
had been shooting The boys were
then seen talking with their heads
together, examining revolver, and
there was another shot, and those
near enough heard little McEvoy
cry with pain, and saw him throw
one arm into the air, run to the
road, and fall When picked up he
was dead. There was a bullet hole
in his breast. At the inquest but
one witness could testify as to who
held the pistol, and that one swore
it was in Vaillancourt's hands. The
boy, himself, however, swore that
McEvoy fired the shot that killed
him, while handling the revolver.
The jury found that the shooting
was accidental, and that the weapon
was in the hands of Vaillancourt.

What Immigrants to Keep Out.

immigration, the New York Euen-
anq Post admits, should be restrict
ed, but it is unable to frame any
scheme of law to do this. Much OF
the restriction asked is moonshine I;
but we hasten, in the hope of having
the rare pleasure of agreeing with the
Post, to tell it what could be done.
immigration should be prohibited to
everyone who had ever been the IN
mate of an almshouse or received
state relief, to everyone who had been
in an insane ward or in any asylum
not limited to the reform of the
young, to every person who had been
convicted of felony, or, on the contl-
nent, of an equivalent grade ofcrime,
whether pardoned or not; to every
case of state-aided immigration. and,
where aid comes from society, the
burden of proving that none but de-
sirable and industrious persons had
been selected for aid should rest on
the agents of the society.
To ensure the exclusion of these
classes a system of consular certiti-
Gates should be required and reg
istry kept both in the consular office
abroad and in the port of arrival.
To-day our ports are open to all
these classes. "Convicts" are ex-
cluded, but the Treasury Depart
ment limits this to those still under
sentence or whose time has been
shortened by pardon 80 that the orlgl-
nal term has not yet expired. The
pauper of to-day can be excluded,
but not the pauper of yesterday, and
yet the chance that anyone who has
once crossed the threshold of an
almshouse will cross it again is
strong one-as all records show.
The insane can be excluded il now
demented, but not if the insanity has
been of the past. Yet it is notorl-
Gus fact that pauper insane partially
recovered have been shipped here
again and again. Our foreign popu-
lation in 1880 was only one-eigth OF
the whole, but in the asylums it was
one-third of the entire number OF In
sane under care, as well as one-third
our criminals and one-third our
paupers. Would this be the case
f the weak-minded vicious, idle
and insane were not systematically
shipped away? The immigrant
who has not the energy at
present low rates to earn his passage
money, nor the friends to provide 1t
in this country ought also to be ex-
cluded, because the line between
shipping paupers and estate aid en-
igration is only one of degree. Last
", enforce these laws by fning the
vessel bringing over prohibited i'm
migrants.
These restrictions are, we submit,
all practical and practicable. They
would not greatly alter the great ag-
gregate, but they would weed out
the share which furnishes criminal
and dependent class. More may be
needed, but all this is plainly necess
